TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to human recognition technologies in the field of image processing technologies, and in particular, to a video-based human behavior recognition method, apparatus, device, and storage medium.

BACKGROUND

With the development of video and image technologies, a human object in a video can be detected, and then a behavior type of the human object can be determined, thereby determining whether an unsafe behavior is being performed.

In the prior art, when using video technologies to analyze the behavior type of the human object, the behavior of the human object in the video can be determined based on the features of the human object in a certain frame.

However, in the prior art, the behavior of the human object in the video is confirmed only based on the human object features in one frame before the behavior type of the human object in the video is obtained. Since the semantics represented by the same action can be different in different scenarios, the existing methods are not accurate and cannot accurately recognize the behavior type of the human in a video.

SUMMARY

The present application provides a video-based human behavior recognition method, apparatus, device, and storage medium, which can reduce deviations in video interpretation, and improve the accuracy and recall rate of a human behavior category of a video.

In this embodiment, the human object is analyzed based on the human rectangle and the human key points of the human object of the adjacent video frames, that is, the analysis is performed with respect to the time dimension, thereby considering the relationship between the video frames of the front and rear frames, and thus the deviation in video interpretation can be reduced, and the accuracy and recall rate of a human behavior category of the video can be improved. Moreover, a convolution result is also obtained with respect to the spatial dimension (the dimension of the key point quantity of the human rectangle). Therefore, based on the two convolution results, a relationship between human objects can be further strengthened, and an analysis of the behavior changes of the human objects based on time can be strengthened, and the human behavior category of the video can be obtained more accurately.

In addition, the human rectangles with highest human rectangle confidences are retained, thereby ensuring that the human rectangles are human rectangles of a real person, and ensuring the accuracy of the human behavior recognition.

In a possible design, when a video quantity of the video to be recognized is N, where N is a positive integer, the feature matrix also includes the video quantity. Therefore, when recognizing multiple videos to be recognized, the feature matrix has features of the multiple videos to be recognized, and furthermore, the multiple videos to be recognized can be recognized at the same time.

In a possible design, after obtaining the human behavior category of the video to be recognized, the method further includes:

and/or,

when it is determined that the human behavior category is a preset category, performing preset processing on the video to be recognized, where the preset processing includes one or more of the following: repeated playback processing, deletion processing, and obstruction processing.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present application to facilitate interpretation, and should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should realize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Likewise, for clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

With the development of video and image technology, a human object in a video can be detected, and then a behavior type of a human object can be determined, thereby determining whether an unsafe behavior is being performed. In various public places, such as schools, prisons, railway stations, subways, etc., human behavior can be detected and recognized for safeguarding social stability and personnel safety, thereby detecting unsafe behaviors such as assaulting, brawling, burglary, pick-pocketing, robbery, vandalism, possession of blade, and self-immolation.

In an example, videos can be obtained based on a camera; and then information such as human facial expressions, gestures, postures, and key points can be obtained through these videos and constitute an important element of the human analysis technologies. Then, those pieces of information are analyzed to obtain the behavior type.

In an example, a video-level name is output according to a feature of a certain picture frame in a queried video, and then the feature of the picture frame is used as the feature of the video to obtain the behavior type of the human in the video. This is a method based on a picture-level classification model to recognize human behavior in videos. However, in the surveillance scene, the recognition outcome of the picture-level classification model is very poor because there are interferences and uncertainties introduced by various factors in the video information collected by the camera, where the various factors could be such as the camera's angle of view, the distance between the camera and the human object, obstruction of view, and illumination. In addition, the picture-level classification model is also poor in robustness; and the picture-level classification model does not consider the relationship between front and rear frames. That is, the time dimension information is not included, which will cause deviations in the interpretation of the video content, resulting in low recognition accuracy and a low recall rate.

In an example, the features of video content can be classified to obtain a human behavior of the video. However, this method does not take into account the attributes of the human, which has great disadvantages in the scene of distinguishing people. Therefore, in a scene with a large number of people, the human behavior in the video cannot be recognized accurately.

In an example, a title of a video or some attributes of the video can be queried to obtain the result of the video name, which is then used as the behavior type of the human in the video.

In an example, when using video technologies to analyze the behavior type of a human object, a heat map and a human pose estimation method can be used to extract the bone points of the human objects on each frame. Then, the movement of the human object is assessed according to the coordinates of the bone points; and the behavior type of the human object on the current frame is determined. Then, for a video, a voting method is adopted, and the behavior type of the human object with the highest vote is used as the behavior type of the video. However, this method only determines the behavior type of the human object in the current frame based on the bone points of the human object in a single frame, and then uses the behavior type of the human object in this one frame as the behavior type of the human object in the video. However, the semantics represented by the same action can be different in different scenarios. Hence, when a method determines the behavior type of the human object only by the coordinates of the bone points on one frame and using the behavior type of the human object with the highest vote of the behavior type as the behavior type of the video, the method will not be accurate, and cannot accurately recognize the type of human behavior in the video.

It can be seen that, in the above methods, the behavior of a human object in a video is confirmed only based on the human object features in one frame, and then the behavior type of the human object in the video is obtained. Since the semantics represented by the same action can be different in different scenes, the existing methods are not accurate and cannot accurately recognize the behavior type of the human in a video.

In addition, there may be a lot of human objects and tasks that need to be processed in a real scene, which in turn will cause a huge consumption of computing resources, further aggravating the inaccuracy in human behavior recognition.

Instead, this application provides a video-based human behavior recognition method, apparatus, device and storage medium to solve the aforementioned problems.

FIG. 1 is an application scenario diagram that can implement the embodiments of the present application. The solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can be used to recognize a human behavior in a video, and recognize the type of human behavior in the video.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram according to a first embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

S101. Acquiring a video to be recognized, where the video to be recognized includes multiple video frames.

Exemplarily, the executive entity of this embodiment may be a control device, or a terminal device, or a remote server, or other apparatus or devices that can execute the method of this embodiment. In this embodiment, a control device is used as the executive entity for the purpose of description.

A camera is arranged in an environment where human behavior is to be recognized, and the camera can be a high-definition camera. The camera is connected with a control device, and is capable of capturing a video. The control device can acquire the video captured by the camera, and then analyze the video. That is, the control device uses the method provided in this embodiment to analyze the video to obtain the behavior type of the video.

The control device acquires a video to be recognized collected by the camera, where the video to be recognized is composed of multiple video frames.

S102. Acquiring a human rectangle for each video frame of the video to be recognized, where each human rectangle includes a plurality of human key points and each human key point has a key point feature.

Exemplarily, the control device may input the video to be recognized into a preset network model to obtain a human rectangle from each video frame of the video to be recognized. Each video frame has one or more human rectangles, and some video frames may have no human rectangle at all.

In a human rectangle, the human can be marked in the video frame. In order to facilitate subsequent recognition, the network model may mark the human key points in each human rectangle. For example, an open pose algorithm can be used to obtain the human key points in the human rectangles.

Moreover, every human key point has a key point feature. For example, the human key point is the nose, and the human key point has the coordinate information of the nose in the video frame. That is, the key point feature is the coordinate information of the nose in the video frame.

In an example, the control device acquires the video collected by the camera. The control device uses a preset network model to analyze each video frame in the video to obtain a human rectangle from each video frame, and each human rectangle marks a human object in the video frame; and the control device then uses the preset network model to recognize the key points in each human rectangle of each video frame. For example, the open pose algorithm can be used to recognize the human key points in each human rectangle, and each human key point has coordinate information in the video frame.

For example, the control device can obtain human rectangle A and human rectangle B in video frame 1. The human rectangle A has multiple human key points, and the human rectangle B has multiple human key points; and the control device can obtain the human rectangle A, the human rectangle B, and the human rectangle C in the video frame 2 following the video frame 1. The human rectangle A has therein multiple human key points, the human rectangle B has therein multiple human key points, and the human rectangle C has therein multiple human key points.

S103. Constructing a feature matrix according to the human rectangle of the each video frame, where the feature matrix includes the key point feature of each human key point, a video frame quantity of the video frames in the video to be recognized, a key point quantity of the human key points in each human rectangle, and a human rectangle quantity of the human rectangle in each video frame.

Exemplarily, based on the key point feature of each key point of each human rectangle in each video frame in the video to be recognized, the video frame quantity in the video to be recognized, and the key point quantity of each human rectangle and the human rectangle quantity in each video frame, the control device constructs a feature matrix, so that the aforementioned information is included in the feature matrix.

In an example, when collectively recognizing multiple videos to be recognized, the video quantity of the videos to be recognized can also be added to the feature matrix.

For example, for each video to be recognized, the feature matrix (C, T, V, M) of each video to be recognized is obtained. As used herein, C is a three-dimensional matrix, and each element in the three-dimensional matrix C represents a key point feature of a human key point; T is the video frame quantity in the video to be recognized. For example, T=300. V is the key point quantity in each human rectangle. For example, V=18 or 21. M is the human rectangle quantity in each video frame. For example, M=3. In this instance, the feature matrix (C, T, V, M) is a four-dimensional matrix.

For another example, for N videos to be recognized, a feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M) can be obtained. As used herein, N is the video quantity of videos to be recognized. For example, N=180. C is a three-dimensional matrix, and each element in the three-dimensional matrix C represents a key point feature of a human key point. T is the video frame quantity in the video to be recognized. For example, T=300. V is the key point quantity in each human rectangle. For example, V=18 or 21. M is the human rectangle quantity in each video frame. For example, M=3. In this instance, the feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M) is a five-dimensional matrix. For each video to be recognized, the value of the video frame quantity T in the video to be recognized is the same. For each human rectangle, the value of the key point quantity V of the human rectangle is the same. For each video frame, the value of the human rectangle quantity M of in the video frame is the same.

S104. Convolving the feature matrix with respect to a video frame quantity dimension to obtain a first convolution result, and convolving the feature matrix with respect to a key point quantity dimension to obtain a second convolution result.

Exemplarily, for each video to be recognized, the above feature matrix (C, T, V, M) can be obtained. In order to analyze each human object in the video in the time dimension, the network model can be used to convolve the feature matrix obtained in step S103 in the dimension of the video frame quantity to obtain the first convolution result which represents the features of each human object in the video to be recognized in the time dimension. In addition, in order to obtain the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the position relationship between the human key points in each human object, the network model can be used to convolve the feature matrix obtained in step S103 in the dimension of the key point quantity to obtain a second convolution result which represents the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the position relationship between the human key points in each human object.

The network model can be any kind of neural network model.

For each of N videos to be recognized, the above feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M) can be obtained. Similarly, the network model can be used to convolve the feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M). In the convolution process, the convolution processing in the aforementioned two dimensions may be performed for each video to be recognized to obtain the first convolution result and the second convolution result for each video to be recognized.

S105. Inputting the first convolution result and the second convolution result into a preset classification model to obtain a human behavior category of the video to be recognized.

Exemplarily, for each video to be recognized, the control device inputs the first convolution result and the second convolution result of each video to be recognized into the preset classification model. The classification model is used to perform feature analysis on the convolution results in the above two dimensions, and output the human behavior category of each video to be recognized. The classification model can be any kind of neural network model.

For example, the human behavior category may be sit-down protest type, possession of blade type, burglary & pick-pocketing type, robbery & vandalism type, gang fighting type, brawling type, etc.

This embodiment acquires a video to be recognized which includes multiple video frames, acquires a human rectangle for each video frame of the video to be recognized, where each human rectangle includes a plurality of human key points, and each human key point has a key point feature, constructs a feature matrix according to the human rectangle of the each video frame, where the feature matrix includes the key point feature of each human key point, a video frame quantity of the video frames in the video to be recognized, a key point quantity of the human key points in each human rectangle, and a human rectangle quantity of the human rectangle in each video frame, convolves the feature matrix with respect to a video frame quantity dimension to obtain a first convolution result, and convolves the feature matrix with respect to a key point quantity dimension to obtain a second convolution result, inputs the first convolution result and the second convolution result into a preset classification model to obtain a human behavior category of the video to be recognized. For each video to be recognized, the human rectangle in every video frame in each video to be recognized can be obtained, and the human rectangle is the human rectangle of the human object. In addition, the human key points of the human object in each human rectangle can be obtained. Furthermore, the feature matrix composed of the key point features and the human rectangles is subjected to convolution processing in the time dimension (the dimension of the video frame quantity of the video to be recognized) and the spatial dimension (the dimension of the key point quantity of the human rectangle), respectively, to obtain a first convolution result and a second convolution result. The first convolution result represents the features of each human object in the video to be recognized in the time dimension, and the second convolution result represents the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the position relationship between the human key points in each human object. Furthermore, the human behavior is recognized based on the above convolution results and the human behavior category of the video to be recognized is obtained. Since a human rectangle and human key points of the human object in each video frame in the video can be obtained, the human object can be analyzed based on the human rectangle and human key points of the human object of adjacent video frames. That is, by performing the analysis in the time dimension, the relationship between a previous and a next video frame can be considered, the deviation in video interpretation can be reduced, and the accuracy and recall rate of a human behavior category of the video can be improved. Moreover, the convolution result is also obtained with respect to the spatial dimension (the dimension of the key point quantity of the human rectangle). In addition, the convolution result represents the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the position relationship between the human key points in each human object. Therefore, based on the two convolution results, the relationship between the human objects can be further strengthened, and the analysis of the behavior changes of the human objects based on time can be strengthened, and the human behavior category of the video can be obtained more accurately.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram according to a second embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following.

S201. Acquiring a video to be processed, and performing a frame extraction process on the video to be processed to obtain multiple video frames to obtain a video to be recognized.

Exemplarily, the execution subject of this embodiment may be a control device, or a terminal device, or a remote server, or other apparatus or devices that can execute the method of this embodiment. In this embodiment, a control device is used as the executive entity for the purpose of description.

A camera is arranged in an environment where human behavior is to be recognized, and the cameras can be a high-definition camera. The camera is connected with the control device, and is capable of capturing a video. The control device can acquire the video captured by the camera, and then analyze the video. That is, the control device uses the method provided in this embodiment to analyze the video to obtain the behavior type of the video.

The control device obtains the video collected by the camera. In this instance, the video includes multiple frames of images, and the video is an unprocessed video. In order to reduce the amount of calculation and increase the speed at which the control device recognizes the human behavior in the video, the video collected by the camera can be sampled to reduce the frame quantity in the video. The control device can perform a frame extraction process on the video collected by the camera, and then extract multiple video frames from the video to construct the video to be recognized from the multiple video frames.

In an example, the control device uniformly samples the images in the video collected by the camera to obtain multiple video frames. In an example, the control device may use the open source tool FFMPEG to perform a frame extraction process on the video.

S202. Inputting the video to be recognized into a single shot multiBox detector network model to obtain each human rectangle in each video frame.

Exemplarily, the control device can input the video to be recognized into a single shot multiBox detector (SSD) network model, where the SSD network model has been trained to mark the image of the human rectangle, and the SSD network model can recognize the human object in the video frame of the video and mark the human object in the video frame, that is, mark the human object with a human rectangle. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram that can implement an SSD network model according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the SSD network model has a multi-layer structure; and the open source tool PaddlePaddle can be used to train the SSD network model.

Therefore, FIG. 5 is a first schematic diagram that can implement a human rectangle according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the control device can obtain the human rectangle of each human object in each video frame. It can be seen that a human rectangle is marked for each human object. Each human rectangle has four corner points.

Moreover, when the SSD network model outputs the human rectangle of the human object of each video frame, it will attribute each human rectangle with a confidence. That is, the confidence as used herein is the confidence given to the human rectangle by the SSD network model, and the value of the confidence is greater than a preset threshold, for example, greater than 0.4.

S203. Inputting each human rectangle in the each video frame into a preset recognition model to obtain human key points in the each human rectangle, where a key point quantity of the human key points in the each human rectangle is V, V=21.

Exemplarily, after obtaining the human rectangle of the human object in each video frame, the control device needs to determine the human key points of the human object in each video frame.

The control device inputs each human rectangle in each video frame into the preset recognition model. The recognition model can be a neural network model that has been trained using images and videos in which human key points have been pre-marked. Therefore, the recognition model can recognize the human key points of the human object in each human rectangle. In addition, the recognition model can output the key point confidence for each human key point, and the key point confidence represents the probability that the human key point is determined to be a real human key point.

In this embodiment, for the purpose of increasing the recognition accuracy of human behavior, the quantity of human key points may be increased. When the open pose algorithm is used to recognize the human key points, 18 key points can be obtained for each human object. However, in this embodiment, for each human object, 21 key points can be obtained. FIG. 6 is a second schematic diagram that can implement a human rectangle according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 7 is a third schematic diagram that can implement a human rectangle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the control device can obtain the human rectangle of each human object in each video frame, and obtain the human key points of each human object. For each human object, the human key points can be joined.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram that can implement human key points according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8, 21 human key points can be obtained for each human object. The 21 human key points in each human rectangle are nose {0, “nose”}, left eye {1, “left_eye”}, right eye {2, “right_eye”}, left ear {3, “left_ear” }, right ear {4, “right_ear”}, left shoulder {5, “left_shoulder”}, right shoulder {6, “right_shoulder”}, left elbow {7, “left_elbow”}, right elbow {8, “right_elbow”}, left wrist {9, “left_wrist”}, right wrist {10, “right_wrist”}, left hip {11, “left_hip”}, right hip {12, “right_hip”}, left knee {13, “left_knee”}, right knee {14, “right_knee”}, left ankle {15, “left_ankle”}, right ankle {16, “right_ankle”}, top of head {17, “top_head”}, neck {18, “neck”}, left mouth corner {19, “left_mouth_corner”}, right mouth corner {20, “right_mouth_corner”}.

S204. Obtaining all human key points in a human rectangle by prediction according to the human key points in the human rectangle, when it is determined that the human object in the human rectangle is obstructed, or when it is determined that the key point quantity of the human key points in the human rectangle is not V.

In an example, step S204 specifically includes: determining a human skeleton structure of the human object in the human rectangle according to the human key points in the human rectangle; and determining all the human key points of the human rectangle according to the human skeleton structure.

Exemplarily, after the control device obtains the human key points of each human object, there may be some human objects from which not all 21 human key points can be obtained.

In an example, when the preset recognition model in step S203 recognizes the human key points of human objects in each human rectangle, the preset recognition model can recognize which human objects are being obstructed, and for these obstructed human objects, not all 21 human key points can be recognized. In an example, when the preset recognition model in step S203 recognizes the human key points of the human object in each human rectangle, due to the obstruction of the human object or the recognition accuracy problem, not all 21 human key points can be obtained.

Therefore, after step S203, for a human body object for which V=21 human body key is not obtained, that is, a human body frame that does not include 21 human body key points, the control device needs to perform prediction to obtain all the human body key points of the human body frame.

In an example, for a human body object for which V=21 human body key is not obtained, that is, a human body frame that does not include 21 human body key points, when the human rectangle already has a plurality of human key points, the control device may obtain the positions and categories of known human key points of the human rectangle. For example, a human rectangle is marked for a human object in a certain video frame and has 18 human key points, i.e., nose, left eye, left ear, left shoulder, left elbow, right elbow, left wrist, right wrist, left hip, right hip, left knee, right knee, left ankle, right ankle, top of head, neck, left mouth corner, right mouth corner, and the locations of the human key points in each of the above categories have been marked.

Then, the control device can outline a human skeleton structure for the human object in the human rectangle according to the positions and categories of the known human key points. Understandably, the human skeleton structure is incomplete because the human skeleton structure at this time lacks some human key points. Since the positions and categories of the known human key points are already available, the human skeleton structure can be used to recover the absent human key points. For example, by leveraging the symmetry in the human skeleton structure, the unknown human key points can be predicted.

For example, a human rectangle has been marked for a human object in a certain video frame. The human rectangle has 18 human key points, which are nose, left eye, left ear, left shoulder, left elbow, right elbow, left wrist, right wrist, left hip, right hip, left knee, right knee, left ankle, right ankle, top of head, neck, left mouth corner, and right mouth corner. The control device can outline the human skeleton structure of the human object in the human rectangle according to the positions and categories of the 18 human key points. Then, the control device determines the missing human key points, namely the right eye, right ear, and right shoulder. The control device can determine the human key point of “right eye” according to the symmetry principle based on the known structural relationship between the human key point “left eye” and the human skeleton structure. Similarly, the control device can determine the human key point of “right ear” according to the symmetry principle based on the known structural relationship between the human key point “left ear” and the human skeleton structure. The control device can determine the human key point of “right shoulder” according to the symmetry principle based on the known structural relationship between the human key point “left shoulder” and the human skeleton structure.

S205. Constructing a feature matrix according to the human rectangle of the each video frame, where the feature matrix includes the key point feature of each human key point, a video frame quantity of the video frames in the video to be recognized, the key point quantity of the human key points in each human rectangle, and a human rectangle quantity of the human rectangle in each video frame.

In an example, when the video quantity of video to be recognized is N, where N is a positive integer, that is, the feature matrix also includes the video quantity.

In an example, the human rectangle quantity in each video frame is M, where M is a positive integer. The M human rectangles are the top M human rectangles with the highest human rectangle confidence in each video frame. The method provided in this embodiment may also perform the following steps: acquiring the key point confidences of the human key points of each human rectangle in each video frame; and performing a weighted summation of the key point confidences of the human key points in each human rectangle to obtain a human rectangle confidence of the each human rectangle.

Exemplarily, the video frame quantity in the video to be recognized is T, for example, T=300. When multiple videos to be recognized need to be recognized, since each video to be recognized has been subjected to a frame extraction process in step S201, the video frame quantity of each video to be recognized is the same. For example, recognition may be performed on N videos to be recognized, where N=180.

In the above steps, for each video frame in each video to be recognized, the human rectangle of each video frame and the human key points of each human rectangle are recognized, and for the human rectangle that has human key points less than V, prediction is performed to make up to all the V human key points, for example, V=21. Furthermore, the key point quantity of each human rectangle is the same.

Moreover, every human key point has a key point feature. For example, the key point feature is (x, y, score), where x is the coordinate of the human key point on the x axis in the video frame, y is the coordinate of the human key point on the y axis in the video frame, and score is the confidence of the human key point. The key point confidence is the confidence of the human key point output by the recognition model in step S203.

However, in the above steps, when the human rectangle in each video frame is outputted, the human rectangle quantity in each video frame may be different. In order to facilitate subsequent convolution processing, for the same video to be recognized, the human rectangle quantity in each video frame in the video to be recognized needs to be adjusted to be consistent. In this step, for the same video to be recognized, since the recognition model in step S203 outputs the confidences of the human key points, the control device can obtain the key point confidences of the human key points in each human rectangle in each video frame. Then, for each human rectangle of the video to be recognized, the control device performs a weighted summation of the key point confidences of the human key points in each human rectangle according to preset weight values, thereby obtaining the human rectangle confidence of each human rectangle. Then, for each human rectangle of the video to be recognized, the control device selects a number of human rectangles with the highest confidence of the human rectangle, that is, the top M human rectangles, for example, M=1 or M=3. Therefore, the control device adjusts the human rectangle quantity in each video frame in the same video to be recognized to M. Furthermore, the correctness and accuracy of subsequent convolution processing and recognition processing are ensured. In addition, the human rectangle with high human rectangle confidence is retained, thereby ensuring that the human rectangle is a human rectangle of a real person, and ensuring the accuracy of the human behavior recognition.

Therefore, for each video to be recognized, the control device obtains the feature matrix (C, T, V, M) of each video to be recognized based on the above features, where C is a three-dimensional matrix, and each element in the three-dimensional matrix C represents a key point feature of a human key point; T is the video frame quantity in the video to be recognized, for example, T=300; V is the key point quantity in each human rectangle, for example, V=18 or 21; and M is the human rectangle quantity in each video frame, for example, M=1 or M=3.

For N videos to be recognized, a feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M) can be obtained, and the feature matrix (N, C, T, V, M) is a five-dimensional matrix.

S206. Convolving the feature matrix with respect to a video frame quantity dimension to obtain a first convolution result, and convolving the feature matrix with respect to a key point quantity dimension to obtain a second convolution result.

Exemplarily, this step may refer to step S104 shown in FIG. 2, and details are not described again. In this step, a color image (for example, RGB image) can be used as a spatial convolution network, and an optical flow field can be used as a time flow convolution network. That is, the spatial convolution network is used to convolve the feature matrix with respect to the dimension of the video frame quantity to obtain a first convolution result, and the time flow convolution network is used to convolve the feature matrix with respect to the dimension of the key point quantity to obtain the second convolution result.

S207. Inputting the first convolution result and the second convolution result into a preset classification model to obtain a human behavior category of the video to be recognized.

Exemplarily, this step may refer to step S105 shown in FIG. 2, and details are not described again.

After step S207, step S208 and/or step S209 may be executed.

S208. When it is determined that the human behavior category is a preset category, issuing an alerting message, where the alerting message includes one or more of the following: voice information, text information, light information, and box selection information.

Exemplarily, for each video to be recognized, the processing of the above steps may be performed in real time for the video to be recognized, so as to obtain a human behavior category of the video to be recognized. The control device can preset some dangerous behavior categories, such as sit-down protest type, possession of blade type, burglary & pick-pocketing type, robbery & vandalism type, gang fighting type, brawling type, etc. Then, when the control device determines that a human behavior category of the video to be recognized belongs to the preset categories, the control device can issue an alerting message.

For example, the control device may directly issue voice and/or text, and then prompt the staff to deal with the dangerous human behavior and protect other personnel. For example, the control device can emit lights to notify all personnel to avoid dangerous human behavior. For example, the control device can display the video to be recognized, and then box-select the user with a dangerous behavior category on the video to be recognized, so that the staff can handle the user, or facilitate subsequent analysis of the video to be recognized and the action with the dangerous behavior in the video to be recognized.

S209. When it is determined that the human behavior category is a preset category, performing preset processing on the video to be recognized, where the preset processing includes one or more of the following: repeated playback processing, deletion processing, and obstruction processing.

Exemplarily, when a video is played in real time to expand audience to more users, the control device can use the above steps to accomplish the recognition of the human behavior category of the video. In order to prevent some behaviors from causing adverse effects on the public, the control device can process the recognized video after detecting the human behavior category. Here, the control device can preset some misbehavior categories that are not conducive to public viewing, such as nudity type, possession of blade type, bloody & gore type, etc. Then, when the control device determines that a human behavior category of the video to be recognized belongs to these preset categories, the control device can directly process the video to, for example, delete a video frame or a video with the misbehavior category, or perform obstruction processing on a video frame with the misbehavior category.

Or, when a video is played in real time or re-played, the video can have some interesting or alerting contents. In order for the users to watch more of these contents, the control device can process the recognized video after detecting the human behavior category. Here, the control device can preset some beneficial behavior categories or alerting behavior categories that the users can watch repeatedly, for example, theft type, joke type, etc. Then, when the control device determines that the human behavior category of the video to be recognized belongs to the preset categories, the control device can directly process the video, for example, repeatedly playback video frames or videos with the beneficial behavior categories or alerting behavior categories.

In this embodiment, on the basis of the above embodiment, the human object could be analyzed based on the human rectangle and the human key points of the human object of the adjacent video frames. That is, the analysis is performed in the time dimension, thereby considering the relationship between the video frames of the previous and next frames, the deviation in video interpretation can be reduced, and the accuracy and recall rate of a human behavior category of the video can be improved. Moreover, the convolution result is also obtained with respect to the spatial dimension (the dimension of the key point quantity of the human rectangle). Based on the two convolution results, the relationship between the human objects can be further strengthened, and the analysis of the behavior changes of the human objects based on time can be strengthened, and the human behavior category of the video can be obtained more accurately. Therefore, the behavioral actions and action tags of the video are obtained, which is conducive to optimize the convolution model and the recognition model, and help the user and other smart devices to understand the video content. Moreover, based on the spatial convolution network and the time flow convolution network, the feature matrix is convolved, and the human behavior recognition is performed according to the convolution result. Therefore, the deviation in video interpretation can be reduced, and the accuracy and recall rate of the recognition result can be improved. In addition, dangerous, beneficial, and alerting behavior categories can be preset in this embodiment, and alerting information can be output, so as to facilitate the staff and other users to avoid dangerous behaviors or watch the alerting behaviors. In addition, each model used in this embodiment can be trained and simulated by using preset behavior categories and recognition, which can enhance the recognition and classification capabilities without the need for direct bodily detection and motion detection, thereby reducing computational consumption and saving costs. Since the recognition accuracy of the solution provided by this embodiment is relatively high, interference caused by factors such as camera angle of view, distance, lighting, can be reduced, and the accuracy of extracting features such as human rectangles and key points in the video can be effectively improved.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram according to a third embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 9, the video-based human behavior recognition method provided in this embodiment may include the following.

S301. Acquiring a video to be recognized, where the video to be recognized includes multiple video frames.

Exemplarily, this step may refer to step S101 shown in FIG. 2, and details are not described again.

S302. Acquiring human features of each video frame of the video to be recognized.

Exemplarily, for each video to be recognized, the method of the aforementioned embodiments may be used to obtain the human features of each video frame, and the human features of each video frame includes each human rectangle of each video frame, the human key points of each human rectangle of each video frame, and the key point feature of each human key point, and each video to be recognized includes multiple video frames.

S303. Determining a human behavior category of the video to be recognized according to the human features of each adjacent video frames.

Exemplarily, for each video to be recognized, convolution is performed with respect to the time dimension according to the human features of each adjacent video frames to obtain a first convolution result; convolution is performed with respect to the spatial dimension to obtain a second convolution result. In an example, in order to analyze each human object in the video with respect to the time dimension, convolution can be performed on the human features with respect to the dimension of the video frame quantity by using a network model to obtain the first convolution result. The first convolution result represents the features of each human object in the video to be recognized in the time dimension. In order to obtain the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the positional relationship between the human key points in each human object, convolution can be performed on the human features with respect to the dimension of the key point quantity by using a network model to obtain the second convolution result. The second convolution result represents the relationship between the human rectangles of each human object and the position relationship between the human key points in each human object.

Then, for each video to be recognized, the control device inputs the first convolution result and the second convolution result of each video to be recognized into the preset classification model; and the classification model is used to perform feature analysis on the convolution results in the above two dimensions, and then output the human behavior category of each video to be recognized. The classification model can be any kind of neural network model.

In this embodiment, by determining the human behavior category of the video to be recognized according to the human features of each adjacent video frames, the convolution processing is performed with respect to the time dimension (the dimension of the number of video frames of the video to be recognized) and the spatial dimension (the dimension of the number of key points of the human rectangle), respectively, thus considering the relationship between the video frames of the front and rear frames, so that the deviation in video interpretation can be reduced, and the accuracy and recall rate of a human behavior category of the video can be improved. Moreover, the convolution result is also obtained with respect to the spatial dimension (the dimension of the key point quantity of the human rectangle). Therefore, based on the two convolution results, the relationship between the human objects can be further strengthened, and the analysis of the behavior changes of the human objects based on time can be strengthened, and the human behavior category of the video can be obtained more accurately.
